- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'The First Beautiful Thing' is the kind of movie - that escapes the sick room to cavort at carnivals and eat cotton candy until the inevitable relapse."
-
"Occasionally affecting but unremarkable"
-
"Virzì's delicate touch and the cast's uniformly captivating performances make that reckoning a lovely, charmingly melancholy thing to watch."
-
"This was Italy's official submission for Best Foreign Film to the 2011 Academy Awards (a red flag more often than not), and, sure enough there's little here that rises above middlebrow."
-
"A streak of 'Cinema Paradiso' runs through this Italian dramedy - and while it lacks that film's overflowing emotion, it's filled with its own artfulness and warmth."
